‘I want to show my best football here and discover the best league in the world. Everybody loves the Premier League. I am loving the fact I am coming here.’

Everton coach Marco Silva also expressed his delight after the left back defender completed his signature.

It is important to say that he is a player who, from the first moment he was contacted, showed enormous desire to play at Everton,’ Silva said.

‘Lucas Digne is a player who will add competitiveness in a position where we only had Leighton Baines last season and he is accustomed to winning. This is his mentality having captured titles in his career and having these on his resume.’
